Colleges for conservative student

[Anonymous]

If you go into college with such a closed mind, you’re not really there for the education. Does want to be challenged to think, or does he want validation?

Do you ask the same question whenever a poster seeks colleges for their very liberal kid?

Most any smaller private school in the southeast.

Hunt: it's not the college or the professors that make a school more conservative, it's your fellow students and their parents.

RWNJs can find community at schools like Liberty.

I don’t see that question much because most colleges are, by nature of their mission, open-minded places.

One of my liberal kids went to college in Alabama. We don’t hide from diversity and we don’t need our beliefs to be coddled or validated.

Many colleges encourage a range of political views and would love to have students with conservative perspectives. The big problem at the moment is that one political party has embraced a gangster who tried to overthrow the government, so, while conservative viewpoints may be respected in discussions at my kids Ivy, there isn't a lot of tolerance for the dictator wannabe who is our current president.

I second Wake Forest. Not in a MAGA or super religious way, though.

+1

Most colleges have both liberals and conservatives and moderates. I'd urge my kids to stay away from any college that is too far in either direction.

DP: but yes I would. We learn from being around different people. College is a great time for that. So as long as nobody is "super to one side/crazed on one side" that is fine, IMO.
And by that I mean, yes you can have conservatives who are still not Trumpers and who respect human beings as people. You can also have liberals who are not "1000% we must tax the rich and give give give give to those without". So you can have people who actually think on both sides. It does exist.

My suggestion to conservative students (and all students for that matter) is to keep with policy and stop putting any of these politicians on pedestals. Debate the issues.

Not rare more HS guys are conservatives these days.
